Test Debut v West Indies at Lord's - Jun, 1995
ODI Debut v Pakistan at Manchester - Aug, 1992
- Took 7 for 43 on his test debut and for a year it seemed England had found a star.
- Cork had a great outswinger and a trademark energetic LBW appeal which showed off his
his enigmatic character.
- Has suffered perhaps from expectation, certainly injuries, and off the field problems.
- Geoff Boycott once described him as a show pony.
- It is true that the majority of Cork's best performances came on home soil, he did not
tour well.
- 131 career test wickets is a decent return for any player but nowhere near what a man
of Cork's talent should have compiled.
